Books Review

Reading Steve Chandler's book feels like Napolean Hill meets Robert Kiyosaki. The serenity by which each tip is introduced and elaborated in the most concise manner allows one to keep attention as well as to think about incorporating that particular tip in life. The amazing manner in which the book starts grabs one's attention. "You have no personality" ... Hearing this makes everyone uneasy and stand up and listen. This brand of attention seeking missiles are launched at the start of almost every tip. Get on your deathbed, Tell yourself a lie, Kill the Television, Make a relation-shift are some of the thought provoking as well as attention getting tips. The best part is where the author relates Arnold's story from the body builder to movie star. How his vision was created and how it was achieved . The book demands action for as per the psychologist and author Dr. Nathaniel Branden has written, "A goal without an action plan is a daydream." DREAM-P...

Tomasko's architecture for change is an attempt to send across a very serious message that the change we strive to implement might as well result in problems. Therefore its imperative to analyze the three steps of change in Resize-Reshape-Rethink. These three phases are explained in the book. The book draws parallels between architects and organization planners. How the architect looks at the the building and what parameters are considered to bring about a change. Similarly in designing an organization its necessary to keep the principle of "form follow function". That is to say that shape of the organization is determined by the kind of functionality it is supposed to perform. Just like architects in school are taught the basic guidelines and mechanics behind loads and how to design structures to withstand the tests of times. Organization planners need to be taught the ways and means to Resize-Reshape-Rethink the organization. The author is critical of mindless usage of ...

If God's Debris was an insight into man's inside then Religion War is a commentary on current social atmosphere. The character of Avatar continues to amaze the reader with pattern resolution and extraction. However there is a change here the old avatar is long dead and taken over by the delivery man  of "God's debris". The stakes are much higher and Muslims vs Christian-Judea Alliance are at the verge of war. This is not going to be just another war but a war where billions will perish. In this scenario the avatar comes forward and tries to resolve the conflict between the two parties. But before that the avatar has to go through a long process of developing confidence in the two parties that avatar can be trusted. The Religion War is about how Al-Qaeeda will grow unless the West re-thinks its policy towards Muslims and how the Al-Qaeeda is using bad methods to solve deep rooted issues. Reading through the book you don't start liking either party but at the ...

One of the most absorbing books read it in three days. Avatar’s dialogue resembles that of Socrates as per my dad. The powerful discourse leads from one topic to another without the reader feeling that really deep topics are being dealt. The author through the avatar comes up with probably the most simplistic but astonishing argument against the theory of evolution. Most importantly the book does not commit any blasphemy while introducing the core idea of God’s debris. The avatar comes across a man of unique talent able to process information and unravel patterns associated. The patterns give the avatar insights which lead to profound responsibility towards other humans. After reading the book reader is unable to dissociate from the ideas presented and continues to think about them. Experiences of avatar at one point seem paranormal but then when the process of reaching those experiences is revealed the reader starts to identify with the avatar. The avatar then becomes nothing els...
